If we talk about F1 cars, they're going average about 200 mph for loose courses and 150 mph for really tight courses (w/ lots of turns) - but thing is F1 races only last about 1.5 hours. And all this is with F1-quality parts and fitment.
Driving at 100 MPH w/ 40 MPH headwind... it doesn't really add up straight and different aero produces different downforce, but lets say you're hitting around 140 mph 'downforce' for 7 hours. Combined with the fact that I'm sure the parts used on F1 cars are more robust + they check for structural integrity after every race maybe even during the pitstops - I don't think it's super surprising the lip got ripped off.
I hope PW:JDM reimburses you somehow - a new lip would be great but more likely is some sort of discount in the future.
Anyway, enough of my arm chair physics sitting my comfy chair at home... (actually at work in this case).
